i'll now. hurricane sandy is lashing the yarn. has the potential to become a super storm for the eastern united states next week. >> sandy made lawful in cuba overnight with category 2 of top winds of 114 miles per hour. the hurricane is blamed for two deaths. cbs portia siegelbaum filed this report from havana, cuba. >> reporter: sandy claimed its first victim. the storm grew to a category 2 level as it made landfall in cuba with 110 miles per hour winds. she spun directly into the island of jamaica, crashing a boulder into a man's house taking his life. in haiti heavy downpours swelled rivers sweeping away a woman as she tried to cross it. high winds and surf are pressing the south florida coast. sandy continues to grow, the sunshine state may see tropical

storm winds as early as tonight. for cbs "this morning," portia siegelbaum, havana, cuba. >> david bernard is chief meteorologist for our miami station cbs 4 and he's watching sandy. david, talk about the size and the strength of this storm. >> well, norah overnight this storm got really strong. the pictures from the caribbean and cuba just prove that. here's the latest information we have this morning. we're talking about a category 2 storm. it's emerging from the cuban coastline now. about 185 miles south of the central bahamas and the thinking is today, tonight and tomorrow the storm is going to maintain hurricane intense egypt as it moves through the bahamas that's why we could see these tropical storm force conditions in south florida, but beyond that as we go into the weekend we'll look for this storm to continue to parallel the east coast and possibly be somewhere off of the new england or northeast coastline maybe just east of the delmarva as well sunday night

into monday and that's when things could definitely get tricky. >> david how bad could it get? >> well, charlie, we're talking about a confluence of events. we have a powerful hurricane as we mention ad category 2 storm in the bahamas. that's a lot of warm air, a lot of heat, a lot of energy and of course we're deep into fall now and we have an unusual strong jet stream dip with winter like cold air and you put those two things together that's the possibility that is on the weather maps right now and that could lead to a powerhouse low pressure forming sunday and monday. so you would have storm force winds, coastal flooding, very heavy inland snows could be possible through parts of appalachians and western pennsylvania and with that heavy snow and strong winds at the coast we could be looking at significant power outages as well. so it's kind of the worst of everything coming together, winter and what the tropical season has to offer. there is still the possibility this low stays out to sea but right now we're thinking there's

a pretty good chance there could be some impact. >> worst case scenario? >> well i think if the low forms and sits right off the coast and then back from the ocean back into land we saw a similar thing with a perfect storm in 1991 how it moved from east to west into portions of new england, we could see something similar with this. >> david bernard, thank you. everyone can follow progress on hurricane sandy around the clock at cbsnews.com. to the race for the white house the presidential election is just 12 days away. president obama slept on air force one last night crisscrossing the country on a 36 hour, 7600 mile campaign trip. he visited florida, virginia, illinois and ohio today. governor mitt romney is holding three events in ohio. >>omney is in front 47% to 45% among likely voters. that nationwide poll shows romney has wiped out the president's double digit advantage among women voters.

the two men are tied in that category. the president has closed the gap among male voters. romney now leads by just five points. nancy cordes is covering the obama campaign in tampa, florida. >> reporter: at this stage of the race the obama campaign contends they are not looking at those national polls they are focusing more on the battleground states. most of which the president is visiting yesterday and today. he did make a quick detour to appear on the "tonight show" with jay leno last night where he adegreesed the remarks made by the indiana republican running for senate saying babies born of rape is part of god's plan. >> i don't know how these guys come up with these ideas. let me make a very simple proposition. rape is rape. it is a crime. >> reporter: the president was reacting to comments made by indiana state treasurer richard mourdock in his senate debate tuesday night. >> i think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape that it is something that

god intended to hop. >> reporter: governor romney has released a statement saying he disagrees with mourdock but didn't pull his endorsement of him. campaigning in iowa and nevada romney said the president has no second term agenda. >> i know it's been tough in the last four years. >> reporter: romney got back up from clint eastwood who is back in the gop's good grace and narrating his tv ad. president obama is halfway through a nonstop eight state sprint that he's describing >> a campaign extravaganza. >> reporter: he flu to delaware, >> we're pulling an all nighter. no sleep. and if you're not going the sleep you might as well be in

vegas. >> reporter: he flew overnight to tampa, florida, from here he heads to richmond, virginia, on to cleveland, ohio with a quick side trip to his home town of chicago to cast his ballot, the first sitting president to vote early. >> i can't tell you who i'm voting for. it's a secret ballot. but michelle says she voted for me. >> reporter: this is the kind of campaign trip that takes right at the very end of the race but the goal here is to convince the president's supporters to cast their ballots now if they can. early voting is already under way or about to be in all but one of the battleground states the president is visiting and it's a key part of their strategy. new "time" magazine poll shows the president has a 2-1 advantage over governor romney among ohio voters who have already cast their ballots. for cbs "this morning" i'm cords in tampa, florida. >> with us, former mississippi governor haley barbour, served

as chairman of the national republican committee. good morning. there's some polls that indicate that the president may be losing or governor romney may be gaining support among women and the question arises could this mourdock controversy impact that? >> well, look. people in the united states are focused on jobs and the economy. whether men or women. because that's what's affected their daily lives. they are seeing their children can't get a job. third children are coming home and live with them. when the president said now he has a job plan and the front page of the "the washington post" today says obama to focus on the debt, you can see why the american people are shaking their head about the last four years. jobs and the economy are what are on people's minds and they know the huge deficits over $5 trillion added to the debt under obama has made it harder to grow the economy in the united states and made the future much less bright for america.

so it doesn't surprise me that women are just as focused on the economic security of their families as men are. >> but, governor, do you think as senator mccain suggested that mourdock should apologize for his comment? >> well, i don't agree with what he said. i thought what he said was kind of crazy. but, having said that, this election for president is not about that. this election for president is about obama's failed economic record in job creation, in exploding debt, skyrocketing spending, that's what families, norah are talking about at the kitchen table. they are not talking about some guy who is secretary of state of indiana. >> governor, if you think it was crazy shouldn't he be in a position to consider apologizing to set the record straight?

>> he's got to decide that. it's not what i think -- i wouldn't have said or how i would characterize something. but i can tell you, barack obama loves it when cbs news or cnn or fox news is talking about what some guy running for senator said instead of what the american people are really concerned about because the more this election is about the economy and jobs the worst obama does. >> let's turn now to the latest "time" magazine poll that shows the race in ohio is very close, obama leading by five points, but the president has a 2-1 advantage when it comes to those who voted early. are you concerned that republicans may have been out organized on the ground? >> i'm not because of that data. first of all, polling of that kind, not very reliable. but historically in ohio and some other states, cuyahoga county and franklin county, cleveland and columbus, the democrats turn out their early

voting very early right from the beginning. yet from what we see in the actual data by party registration not by polling they have less of an advantage this year than normal. the republicans have turned out in a higher than normal percentage in those two big democratic counties as well as in republican counties. so i actually am optimistic about the ground game that the republican national committee and the obama administration -- i mean the romney campaign has. the obama people go on muscle and manpower driven by the labor unions. for us it's energy and enthusiasm and right now it looks like energy and enthusiasm is keeping up. >> we showed a graphic that shows the atlantic magazine obama and their campaign has three times as many field offices in ohio as mitt romney and also in florida and in virginia. how do the republicans counter that? i know the republican national

committee which you once headed has great practice at a ground game but how are they being unmanned, out officed if you will by the democrats? >> good news for republicans is it done matter how many office us have, it matters how many voter contacts you make. you can organize yourself into lots more little offices or not as many offices but bigger with more outreach but the real question is how many voters do you contact? how compelling is your message? what kind of a job do you do getting those voters to actually go to the polls and vote. and so the number of offices to me is irrelevant. >> governor barbour, thank you very much. >> thank you, charlie. >> questions are still flying over when u.s. officials knew the attack on libyan consulate was terror related. this morning we know a terror suspect now in custody in tunisia claimed responsibility on facebook just hours after the

attack. john miller is here. john, good morning. what do we make of this arrest in tunisia? >> well this is somebody we've been tracking for a while. this was an individual who was in custody a couple of weeks ago in turkey and the fbi was actively trying to get an interview with him in turkey and the turks deported him to tunisia. they are negotiating with the tunisian government. he's reportedly behind that posting claiming responsibility. the question about him is that it probably doesn't make him a leader of ansar al sharia claiming response about it but he may have had access to the leaders. i should add in they believe he was there at the scene of the attack not just posting information. >> what about these emails that have been on tand? many critics say they are a smoke gun. 24 hours after the attack we have this group claiming responsibility on facebook. we heard secretary clinton say

posting something on facebook is not in and of itself evidence. what do you think? >> based on the number of terrorist attacks we've seen the early claims of responsibility are often inaccurate. sometimes one group will try to claim responsibility for somebody else's attack. when you see it you make note of it. it's good indicator but not evidence especially on facebook. what has happened since and this is significant is they've gotten signals intelligence, intercepts, human source information, they've actually got video of the leader of the group on the scene. now they can lay a lot more evidence on top of that claim to say it's probably correct. >> sharyl attkisson from cbs was the first to report these emails yesterday. what about the argument? these emails suggest there were terrorists claiming responsibility. was it wrong for the administration to go out with talking points saying it was spontaneous. >> in vacuum that would be true. when you consider what we were doing, we were getting

information from libyans, from generals on the ground. everybody on the first day was reporting it was a demonstration or a protest that got out of hand. this is the way intelligence works and this is one of the things that i kind of stand back at this and look. there's dozens of crises where you're watching real-time intelligence come in, flash reports from the scene. and then you get that information, you analyze it, you get new information. you're constantly updating. the crisis i was running and taking intelligence in from what was happening in the middle of a hotly contested presidential contest that's the rub here. everything here is the way it always goes it's just being distorted. >> the government is suing bank of america for alleged mortgage fraud. the suit involves countrywide financial which b of a bought in 2008 just before the banking meltdown. u.s. attorney in new york city said countrywide made loans without making sure borrowers

could afford them and then sold those loans to fannie mae and freddie mac which are backed by the government. the bank has resisted buying back the bad mortgages. b of a spokesman said that's false. >> these are your headlines from around the world. britain's "guardian" interviews the head of the bbc. they killed a story alleging one of their biggest stars abused children. a "time"s editor said the company should think again about putting thompson in charge. >> the "wall street journal" has an interesting story on its front page. it says the ceos of more than 80 major corporations are pushing congress to reduce the federal deficit using tax revenue increases as well as spending cuts. in a letter to be released today the ceos said any plan has to limit the growth of health care spending and keep social security solvent. >> is the "san francisco chronicle" features game one of

former secretary of state colin powell is with

♪ welcome back to cbs "this morning." we know that -- you know him he was the former secretary of state general colin powell broke with the republican party in 2008 to endorse barack obama for president. he called him then a transformational figure. >> the former national security adviser and former chief of staff is this morning. his memoir is called "it worked for me in life and leadership." good morning. >> will you endorse president obama this race? >> well, you know i voted for him in 2008 and i plan to tick with him in 2012 and oil vote for him and vice president joe biden next month.

so that's an endorsement for president obama for re-election. >> let me say why. when he took over the country was in very, very difficult straits, we were in one of the worst recessions we had seen in recent times, close to a depression. the fiscal system was collapsing. wall street was in chaos. we had 800,000 jobs lost in the first month of obama administration and unemployment peaked at 10% a few months later. we were in real trouble. the you a is to industry was collapsing. the housing industry was starting to collapse. we were in very difficult straits. i saw over the next several years stabilization come back in the financial community, housing is now starting to pick up after four years, it's starting to pick up. consumer confidence is rising. so i think generally we've come out of the dive and starting to gain altitude. it doesn't mean we are problem solved, there's lots of problems still out there. the unemployment rate is too high. people are still hurting in housing. but i see that we are starting

to wise up. i also saw the president get us out of one war, start to get us out of a second war and did not get us into any new warriors and finally i think that the actions he's taken with respect to protecting us from terrorism have been very solid. so i think we ought to keep on the track that we're on. with respect to governor romney i have the utmost respect to him but as i listen to what his proposals are especially with respect to dealing with our most significant issue the economy, it's essentially let's cut taxes and compensate for that with other things. but that compensation does not cover all of the cuts intended or the new expenses associated with defense. new said you have listened to governor romney. have you talked to governor romney about this? did you give him an early notice that you plan to endorse the president again? >> no, i didn't give anybody an early notice. i have spoken to governor romney. we had a very good conversation

a few weeks back. >> did he ask you for an endorsement of him back then? >> no. >> and how far spoken with president obama? >> i speak to the president on a regular basis. he didn't ask either. this is my decision based on my looking at it as a citizen. i think this is an exciting race between two very capable men, and i signed on for patrol with president obama and i don't think this is the time to make such a sudden change. and not only am i comfortable with what governor romney is propose for his economic plan i have concerns about his views on foreign policy. the governor who is speaking on monday night at the debate was saying things that were quite different from what he said earlier. i'm not quite sure which governor romney we would be getting with respect to foreign policy. >> what concern do you have about governor romney's foreign policy? >> well, it's hard to fix it. it's a moving target.

one day he has a certain strong view about staying in afghanistan but then on monday night he agrees with the withdrawal. same thing in iraq. on every issue that was discussed on monday night governor romney agreed with the president with some nuances. but this is quite a different set of foreign policy views than he had earlier in the campaign. my concern, which i've expressed previously in a public way is that sometimes i don't sense that want he has thought through these issues as thoroughly as he should have and he gets advice from his campaign staff that he then has to adjust to modify as he goes along. new year concerned about the people that are advising governor romney. >> i think there's some very, very strong neo-conservative views that are presented by the governor that i have some trouble with. there are other issues as well. i'm more comfortable with president obama and his administration when it comes to issues about what will we do

about climate and immigration. what will we do about education. lots of things like that. i don't want to see the new obama care plan thrown off the table. it has issues, you have to fix some things in that plan. but what i see when i look at that plan is 30 million of our fell fellow citizens will be covered with insurance. that's good. we're one of the few nation in the world that does not have universal health care. >> you know the criticism about the president is they do not know how the second term will be different and he hasn't laid that out and that's some concern. >> i think it is a concern. i think the president has started with a plan he issued yesterday, that he's going to focus on the economy, focus on debt. regardless whether you focus on debt and jobs they are interlinked. the major jobs faced by governor romney or president obama, whoever should win the election is going to be what to do about

the fiscal cliff we're about to fly over. this is something that was put in place by congress and while we're talking about the two candidates for president, let's not forget that congress bears a lot of the responsibility for many of the problems that we have now. they are the once that write the appropriations bill. they are the ones that pass the legislation for more spending and for the various entitlement programs that people have trouble with. and so i think it's a close race. i think every american should look at both candidates carefully, measure them against your own personal views. i really am pleased the way the president saved the auto industry and i think that brought a lot of jobs back to ohio and michigan and other parts of the northwest. >> you blame the failure to find a grand bargain on the congress and not on the president? >> the failure to find a grand bargain, why do we need a grand bargain? why do we need simpson-bowles? this is work congress is supposed to be doing opinion you don't need special committees. we have a congress of 535 people

with dozens and dozens of committees. why can't they up on the hill start talking to one another, reach across the aisle but it will take greater presidential leadership and i think what the president said in one of his remarks yesterday is that he intends to spend more time trying to bring that leadership up to the hill and get both parties both sides start talking to one another. but every candidate can say i'm going to do this, i'm going to do that but in reality it's the congress that actually does it or doesn't do it and i don't think congress has been meeting its responsibilities. >> general you worked for several republican presidents. are you still a republican in >> yes. i think i'm a republican of more moderate mold and that's something of a dying breed i'm sorry to say. but, you know, the republicans i work for are president reagan, president bush 41, howard bakers of the world, people who were conservative, people who were

willing to push their conservative views but people who recognized at the end of the day you got to find a basis for compromise. compromise is how this country runs. >> general your then saying you may have to leave the republican party? >> no. i didn't say that at all, charlie. but nice try. i said i'm a moderate republican and there are fewer of us. what party are you in, charlie? >> i'm an independent. general powell any time you want to come and make news please come here. we love having you here to talk about important issues because of the number of important roles you have served so thank you very much for this. >> thank you, charlie. i'll call you, maybe.

♪ it is 8:00. welcome back to cbs "this morning." hurricane sandy tears across the caribbean, how soon could it affect the united states? and donald trump offers a $5 million challenge to president obama, but nobody seems to be taking him seriously. but first, here's a look at what's happening in the world and what we've been covering on cbs "this morning." we are talking about a category 2 storm. it's emerging from the cuban coastline now. >> the hurricane is blamed for at least two deaths. >> sandy has the potential to become a super storm for the eastern united states. >> it's the worst of everything coming together, winter and with

what the tropical season has to offer. . >> will you endorse president obama? >> i voted for him in 2008 and i plan to stick with him in 2012. >> president obama is crisscrossing on a 7600 campaign trip. >> we are pulling an all neither. >> a new associated press poll shows romney in front. >> for us it's energy and enthusiasm and right now it's keeping up pretty good. >> his collection is now worth millions. >> he's selling it all in a bid to save his daughter's life. >> i was amazed. my father, you know, this is it for him. >> i know last year michelle gave out fruit. >> it is true. michelle takes this healthy eating seriously but it is an election year so candy for everybody. >> only two members of in sync were invited to justin timberlake's wedding but the other two appeared as indicacat.

>> millions of people on the east coast are on alert because of hurricane sandy. >> david bernard our chief meteorologist for miami station, cbs 4 is track sandy right now. david, what can you tell us? >> this cab real problem. right now this morning sandy is still a category 2 storm as of 8:00 this morning. it's emerging off the cuban coastline, moving through the bahamas over the next 24 hours or so and then the big question is where does it go from here? i thought we would take a look at our latest computer guidance that came in. we have two camps of models. the first one bends the storm back into areas of the delaware coastline or as far north as southern new england as we go into early next week and only one other model is turning this potential storm out the sea. so it seems like it's becoming more likely that we're going to have to contend with sandy in the northeast and mid-atlantic as we go into late in the

weekend and early next week. here's what's happening. the tropical storm hurricane is moving from the south, very warm air. winter like cold that's now coming in through the midwest. those two are going to combine and we could be looking at a nor'easter/hurricane situation with heavy snow, storm force winds and potentially a lot of power outages. coastal flooding could be widespread. we could see hurricane force gusts up to new england if this forecast pans out. >> david bernard thank you. president obama is making a marathon cross country campaign swing. we'll visit four states today including ohio where governor mitt romney will also be campaigning and in a just a released poll shows romney has erased the president's advantage with women. they are tied. the president has erased romney's advantage with men. with 12 days to go the candidates are hitting the battleground states hard. >> we don't turn backwards.

we look forward. we look forward. we look forward to the distant horizon. to new possibilities. to new frontiers. that's what we believe in. that's who we are. our destiny is written for us it's written by us and we can way the next chapter together right now. that's why i'm asking for your vote. >> they have been unable to lay out an agenda for what they will do to help america. they have been unable to defend and describe what they will do to get our economy growing. with a president out of ideas and excuses why on november 6th make sure we put him out of office. >> and earlier this morning retired general colin powell revealed to us he's supporting president obama again this year. >> you know i voted for him in 2008 and i plan to stick with him in 2012 and i'll be voting for he and vice president joe biden next month. >> after making that endorsement

powell met up with governor haley barbour the former chairman of the national republican committee. barbour didn't endorse romney but didn't endorse in 2008 either. general powell is leaving our studios in washington. >> donald trump donald trump promised a huge announcement wednesday that he would change the presidential election so did he deliver? mo rocca is here with the answer. >> good morning. yes. so great. ever since donald trump announced his upcoming announcement speculation swirled but as it turned out trump didn't have any dirt on the president. just a bizarre deal that leaves many on both sides of the aisle wondering if trump has jumped the shark. >> i have something very, very big concerning the president of the united states. >> give us a hint. >> donald trump's big announcement arrived yesterday via youtube. >> i have a deal for the president. >> billed as a bombshell but more of a bust. >> if barack obama opens up and

gives his college records and application and if he gives his passport applications and record, i will give to a charity of his choice inner-city children in chicago, american cancer society, aids research, anything he wants, a check, immediately, for $5 million. the check will be given within one hour. >> first of all $5 million that's church change to you. you are a very rich man. >> he's never going to do this. what was the primary -- >> others couldn't resist the punch line. >> he has to have it by 5:00 on halloween. because that night he's renting out his orange head as a jack-o-lantern. >> we have footage of the announcement. >> teen president joined in. >> what's this thing with trump

and you. me and letterman. what does he have against you here? >> this all dates back to when we were growing up together in kenya. >> trump typically has been a friend to the republican party. in february mitt romney sought his endorsement for president. >> governor romney go out and get him. >> this latest move has many on the right feeling a little wronged. conservative writer of the national review tweeted, if at any point you seriously considered donald trump for president, please study the error of your ways in quiet, private contemplation. fox news's bill o'reilly had this to say to david letterman. >> was it ever important? >> it's not important. he's the president of the united states and what's important is whether he can turn the economy around. that's what's important. >> hopefully -- >> last year president obama even released his berth certificate in order to silent people like trump. >> nobody is happier or prouder

to put this birth certificate matter to rest than the donald. and that's because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter. did we fake the moon landing? what really happened in roswell. and where are biggy and tupac. >> as the president ally election approaches it's 11th hour trump is looking for any way to move the needle no matter how far he has to reach. i can't tell if i'm on cbs or comedy central. the world has turned upside down. that's the kind of behavior that would get one of the contestants on his show fired. >> so what do you make of this? all of us are responding to this in humor or observation of the humor. >> yeah. i wonder -- you know it's like the last days of reality show.

in this case it's the campaign where this desperate, crazy behavior is coming out. it's like he's doubling down on stupidity. maybe just because he's embarrassed about what happened last time with this issue. the birther thing is so early 2012. it's done. >> i remember that white house dinner that night and donald trump did not think the jokes were funny and i'm wondering do you think he's operating from any publicity is good publicity? what is his strategy? >> we couldn't find that whoever said it this, this puts that to doubt now because i'm not sure that it is. >> to be continued i'm sure. >> yeah. >> i don't think he's done. thank you. tampa bay elusive wild monkey has finally been captured. he had been on the loose for nearly three years. on wednesday trappers shot with it a tranquilizer dart. the monkey had bitten and scratched a local woman two weeks ago. they are now trying to find a

>> i'm dying and i'm having fun. and i'm going to keep having fun every day i have left. because there's no other way to play it. >> boy i remember that. that's from professor randy pausch famous last lecture. he was open and up front sharing the life lessons he's learned

from dying. it inspired millions of people. >> now a study in the new england medical journal said the health care system would benefit if all of us could be more honest. dr. thomas smith is the leading expert on health care for the dying and he wrote a commentary published along with the study. good morning, doctor. >> thank you. >> let's talk about the study. i want reveals about misconception about life threatening illnesses. what are they? >> these researchers interviewed 1,200 patients who had colon rectal cancer or lung cancer which couldn't be cured and almost three quarters of the patients thought a person like themselves could be cured of their disease when essentially none of them will be. that's a major change in what we would expect people to think. >> so how do you need to improve the communication then with those people facing these life threatening illnesses. >> we start when you're well. but when you're faced with a life threatening illness, don't

be afraid to get information. people who plan, people who make their choices known so that we as health care professionals can follow their choices, do a lot better. their families do better. in fact in one study where patients got care along their usual care, that's honest and open communication, goal set, careful attention to symptoms, people had less depression, less anxiety, lived longer. >> it's such a difficult conversation to have though, doctor. how do you sit down and tell someone and keep it positive that you're not going to live much longer. how do you do that? >> the first thing is to ask permission. we do ask, tell, ask. what do you want to know about your illness? 90% of the pambts and will say tell me everything. in need to know so i can plan. a few won't. then tell people in very understandable terms. none of us know exactly when

someone will die but we can say you have weeks or months based on people like you. >> everybody feels i can be the one that beats it. i have a positive attitude. i have faith. what do you say to those people? >> i say that's wonderful and we promise not stand in the way of any miracles. but we can hope for the best but we need to plan for the worst. >> doctor, one of the important things about this conversation is how much of our medical dollars are being spent at the very end of life. what is that figure? i've been told it before. it necessitates that people be responsible including doctors about end of life decisions. >> yes, it is. about 25% of medicare dollars are spent in the last year of life and 9% of medicare dollars is spent in the last month of life. this really isn't about saving money so much as honoring people's choices. we have to know what people's choices are by having these difficult conversations so that we know what people want. most people really want to focus

on being at home. they don't want to be in the hospital. so if you can be at home, have symptoms relieved by people around you that love you. >> difficult conversation but important conversation to have. >> you know someone is doing very well because when they say when i die i want to come back as me. mark cuban said that a couple of years ago. he's here to talk about sports, stocks and success. that's what success looks like on cbs "this morning". >> this portion of cbs "this morning" is sponsored by mercedes-benz. the best or nothing. what's truly amazing about mercedes new mbrace2 system... is i can follow all my sports... catch the latest breaking news... keep in touch with friends... follow the financial headlines... find a great restaurant...

today -- >> we're mixing this together. ♪ welcome back to cbs "this morning." dallas mavericks owner mark cuban often gets in trouble defending his nba team but off the court he's an angel investor with a devilish side. >> he owns magnolia. of all those things which one

brings you the greatest satisfaction? >> i'd say the mavericks just because one of the things when i bought the team i don't own the team the community owns the team and there's no other business in the world where somebody calls you and says, you know, my son is ill and, you know, will somebody from the team come visit or even worse, you know, my son just died and his dream was to be buried in a mavs jersey and can we get it signed. you realize very quickly the community owns your team and that's just a sense of joy you can't give in any other type of business. >> you clearly have a passion for the team. there was a time when you were fined close to $2 million because you disagreed with the referee. >> over a period of time. >> you're very outspoke. do you regret those out bursts? >> no. i was improving the product. that's the goal. >> have you mellowed in time?

one of your players said the owner shouldn't eclipse the team. >> that was six or seven years ago. i've had kids and that changes your perspective. when i came home after i lost a game it would take me all day to get over. now when a 3-year-old or 6-year-old climbs in your lap it changes your perspective. at the same time i always looked at it in every business you have to strive to be better. because it's a visible sports team mean you shouldn't change. you can argue about my tactics but can't argue about my intention. >> remember when he sold his company to yahoo! that made him a billionaire. what's going to happen to yahoo!? >> it will be fine. marissa mayer is smart. you can always see in the last quarter much better. to be honest when i heard she got appointed ceo i bought a bunch of stock. so far a good investment. >> when you look at what happened to yahoo! and zynga,

are you worried about some bubble? >> no. i'm not worried about a bubble in the internet sector for public companies. but where there is a bulb simple in evaluations in silicon valley for private companies because what's happened in the stock market is there are companies raising $15 million or less, the number of companies going public in that range has decline by 60% to 80% in the last 15 years. since those small to medium size companies can't go public they've to raise private money and those valuations have gone through the roof. >> look at groupon. and the facebook stock is way down. was it over valued? >> those are individual -- those companies -- that's more a reflection of what's happening with the private company valuations. they had to go public. that bubble, when they were

private actually impacted negatively the public's shareholder. i wouldn't call it a bubble but it's a reflection what happens in silicon valley. >> i'm doing a profile of jeremy lin. >> the mavs signed him as a free agent. he was fearless. he was smart. went to harvard. more athletic than people expected. we looked at him as a potential as another steve nash. we wanted to sign him to a contract but he wanted to place close to home and he grew up in the bay area some signed with the golden state warriors. >> can he be another steve nash? >> yeah. he's that good. he's got that type staff lent. what made steve nash great -- when nash went from the mavericks to the suns to become mvp it was a system that he just excelled at. so jeremy has to play in the right environment with the right players and he can be a star. >> heard you say you never invest in businesses that you don't believe in yourself. you recently invested in a guy

that does cat drawings. what do you know about cat drawings? >> absolutely nothing. but every now and then they call it aqua hiring. you have to invest in the person. where the company is almost a sideline to the skill set of the individual. so, the guy is crazy but technological, he's got great tech skills and marketing skills, great sense for pr, obviously and so to get the opportunity to work with somebody like that, if i had to invest in his company to do it it was cheap. >> does crazy and offbeat afeel you? >> yes. month because? >> a lot of people think i'll do the next great version of something. when in reality the big hits always come elsewhere. i always tell people if you're looking where everybody else is looking for the next big thing you're look in the wrong spot. you don't want to be 101. you want to say all those people are doing the same thing let me

find something over here because those give you the greatest chance for a grand slam. >> president obama was endorsed by general powell on this program this morning. have you made an endorsement. >> haven't. but i'm leaning towards obama. i think people don't give him enough credit for having drawing us out of the doldrums four years ago. i don't think people realize our back was against the wall. four wears ago we were having the five worst days in the stock market we ever had and to try to recover in that type of an economy and to get to us this point where we're continuing to grow is a major accomplishment. when people look back we'll get a lot more credit. right now we're in a bipartisan world that nobody wants to give credit to anybody. >> does politics fascinate you >> scares me. you can't be honest. everything is talking point. everything is driven by consultants. neither candidate wants to say what they think or feel. they just do what their

consultants tell them. it's a poor reflection on this country. at the same time i think it's an obligation to vote so i'll pick somebody. >> think about sports, think about business, think about all the things you've done. who is the most impressive person you've ever met? >> that's a great question. most impressive is my dad for a lot of different reasons. his best line to me is today is the youngest you'll ever be. live like it. that's my motto. in terms of really smart people, you know, i don't know. it's hard. i would have to think about it. >> do you still want to come back as you? >> absolutely. in a heart beat. i have to be the luckiest guy in the world and i'm glad it's me. >> it's not easy to get 45 minutes to talk to the president especially during campaign season. but douglas brinkley did that. he'll tell us about the president's ro

>> i got to ask you about this. what's this thing with trump and you? it's like me and letterman. what has he against you? i don't get it. >> this all dates back to when we were growing up together in kenya. >> yeah. >> how did you come up with romnesia? >> well, obama care covers pre-existing conditions. >> well for weeks now governor mitt romney has told voters president obama has no agenda for a second term. bri douglas bringly interviews president obama in the new edition of rolling stone magazine. welcome. >> thanks for having me.

>> what did you find? >> well, i interviewed him october 11th, shortly after denver. he was very buoyant. it's amazing to go into the oval office and turn on the tape recorder and ask anything you want to ask. he's starting to play to the base heart and will use the overturning of roe v. wade as a possible incentive to make sure he keeps women on his side. it's been a year of women in '12 and pushing that hard. >> what will he do in the next four years if he wins. do you have some firm sense of what he wants to do, what is his great ambition? >> what he hasn't mentioned or never came up in the debates is climate change and how freakish the weather has been. he talked about a green grid of wind and solar and how to get a

new energy infrastructure. i think in the second term he'll push for that hard. it will include oil, natural gas and all the rest but i think he sees that as a big part of his second term legacy. >> he's self-reserved by nature. do you feel you saw real moments with him when you spent time with him? you observed him for quite a length of time. >> a very natural person. barack obama -- he's over written about how much he's like dr. spock. as you saw on the jay leno clip he lays back and talks. some of the off time when we weren't with the tape recorder out and more fun showing me different artifacts around the white house. he's a warm and genial person. he exudes family values. he's a great father. he has his mother-in-law around all the time. he's a great husband. >> were you on the campaign trail? >> i grew up in ohio. i was at put-in-bay.

i went to where the president was and i brought my three kids and a story i tell in here is there were two children behind me and one was 11, one was 14 screaming for the president. i pulled the one 11-year-old to the rope line and then the 14 so they could go meet the president. he got a sharpy and signed the shirt of one who was 11 but when he went to the 14 he said how old are you? she said i'm 14. he said you're too old for your clothes to be ruined, i'll give you a fist pump. it's mayhem around him and he does this thing between an 11 and 14-year-old. >> you spent 45 minutes with him at the white house. what did he say about governor romney and i know he even use ad word in talking about governor romney that we can't say on television. >> bser, he thinks he's full of it, romnesia.

working man's romnesia. >> you've studied a lot of presidents. you're a historian. is it unusual to have this kind of dislike for your opponent or is it natural? >> it depends. certainly barack obama had a lot of respect for john mccain last time around. after all remember that famous moment mccain said no he's a great man. >> they served together in the senate. >> mccain is a war hero. mitt romney comes from a whole different cut, barack obama was a community oregon -- >> what's the state of politic? shouldn't you at least respect your opponent or have some respect for them? i'm just wondering where this fits in the history of challengers? >> i could pick you different place. there's no love between john f. ken dean and lyndon johnson let alone harry truman who once said about eisenhower he knows no more about politics than a pig knows about sunday. there was no love between trueman and ike.

we can go true and find good and bad relationships. >> one thing the president said is how much he respects governor romney and his own family values. why do you think this race is so close? >> well, i think each have an albatross. president obama's albatross is by saying unemployment would be down to 5% and it's down 7.8%. mitt romney has a big problem with saying let detroit go bankrupt. no one wants to hear bankrupt. detroit is not just detroit it's ohio, toledo akron, dayton. if president obama wins it's going to be because of the fire wall in ohio and the saving of those electoral votes. >> if you had to rate president obama on one term where would you put him? >> a lot of accomplishments. it's a difference of two terms in his case. one term the killing of bin laden will live on forever. the gm bailout.

>> bill clinton? >> first term. he had a lot of accomplishments but it's key for him because if he loses it's going to be the fire, progressive fire wall. >> with old ideas. designee needs a bold idea in the second term. unlike bill clinton there aren't moderate republicans in congress and the senate to negotiate with. it's over. i was with lowell whittaker last night they are a dinosaur breed. >> thank you douglas brink lie. new issue of rolling stone is on sale right now. melissa etheridge has had a fascinating journey from kansas to superstar stardom. she's here to talk about it, her home town, her career and her new album coming up next on cbs "this morning".

but also to her credit, she kept that outside. the kids didn't know. >> good. >> so, that is the most important. yeah. >> october is breast cancer awareness month. you are a survivor. tell us about that. >> well, i was diagnosed in october. so it kind of -- so breast cancer awareness comes around oh, yes, now i'm going on my ninth year cancer free. totally. >> you don't worry about it. do you still think or do you think you're out of the woods. >> that's part of the -- that's part of the acidic behavior is what i say. my understanding of health now is we are, we are these amazing bodies that can do anything if we put the correct stuff in it, it's about food. i am what i eat. stress is going to kill me. those things. to keep that going and also the not worrying but believing that
